The Summer Olympics are still months away, but it's never too early to heat up the rivalries between the participating countries!
Going for the gold in the first round of competition: the U.S. vs. the U.K. for official Olympic outfits.
This morning, the USA's official Polo Ralph Lauren-designed closing ceremony outfits were revealed on the Today show. The models shows off white shorts, polo tops and mid-length skirts that looked all-American, yacht appropriate and featured the Polo logo, of course.
How does the collection stack up against the U.K.'s gear?
British designer Stella McCartney also recently unveiled her collection for the U.K.'s Olympic team. Paul's daughter created the entire range of athletic wear, including tennis, gymnastics and cycling uniforms, to name a few.
McCartney dished about the design process: "The first place to start on a project like this is to look at the Union flag. For me, it's one of the most beautiful flags in the world and it was important for me to stay true to that iconic design but also to modernize it and present it in a contemporary way."
Which country takes the gold and which will have to settle for silver in this competition?
